Former BV kicker (current BV special teams coach), Carlos Martinez, had a tryout with Atlanta or Dallas recently, but didn't make it...

Dustin Johnson, '05 QB for Salisbury University, just signed with the Amarillo Dusters of the Arena League 2. Congrats to the "maestro of the option". He will play wideout and maybe some QB according to the article on SU's website.

he certainly seems to have the physical skills to play the game at the next level.

I would love to seem him get picked up late by the BEARS who need a couple more TE's he could be a good player to develope over next year.

Not that I have any information about who is interested in him I'm just a big BEARS fan and a D-III fan so it would be a combination of epic proportions...

I was told that Michael Allan ran the second fastest 40 among the tight ends.  Does anyone know if that's true?

According to one of the talking heads at ESPN he ran the second fastest among the group of tight ends who ran yesterday (Saturday).  The other half were running today.  Nonetheless, according to the talking head, this would get the kid a "second day" draft selection.

Yeah, he's the main topic of conversation there.

For the lazy people among you, this from AP or some similar news service:

QuoteTIME TRIALS: The first three groups of players were clocked in the 40-yard dash Saturday, and not surprisingly a former Miami player was among the fastest.

Tight end Greg Olsen finished in 4.71 seconds, which was matched by tight end Michael Allan of Division III Whitworth College. Gijon Robinson, who played at Division II Missouri Western State, also ran 4.71.

The other two groups were offensive linemen and the top-rated tackle, Joe Thomas who played at Wisconsin, had the third fastest time at 4.92.

Allen Barbre of Missouri Southern State, another Division II school, had the best time of 4.84. Gabe Hall of Texas Tech was second at 4.91 and the only other lineman to crack 5.0 was Southern Cal center Ryan Kalil at 4.96.
